Many of you have experienced the energy of IndyVolved before. But for those of you who haven’t, I’m sure you’re wondering – why should I make attending IndyVolved on Thursday, June 18 from 6 – 8:30 p.m. a priority?
It might be one of those things you have to experience to understand. But ten years into this event, we’ve learned a lot about what makes it work. And while there are lots of reasons why you should make time for IndyVolved on Thursday, and I’m going to give you my top five.
#1 Opportunities abound.
IndyVolved is the perfect way to see the countless array of organizations that want to connect to someone just like you. Animals? Check. Kids? Check. Sports? Check.
There is really something for everyone here. Don’t believe me? Check out this listing.
#2 It’s a great way to discover a new passion. Or job skill.
Feeling blah? Unemployed or underemployed? Wishing to take on a new set of responsibilities?
We have a simple solution for you. Volunteer to build up that résumé. And have fun doing it. Did I mention you’ll expand your social circle too?
#3 You’re going to meet a new friend. Or fifty.
Speaking of social circles, it’s your lucky day. IndyVolved’s one hoppin’ party, and you’re bound to run into someone you know who will introduce you to someone new. Or maybe you just moved here . . . get ready to meet a new friend.
#4 Sometimes we all need an excuse to party on a school night.
When we’re asked about IndyVolved, we describe it as part-science far, part-speed dating, and part-reunion. The latter because you’ll see a whole bunch of civically involved people who reunite at IndyVolved each year. So plan on coming this year and being one of the “regulars” next! We look forward to having you on the team.
#5 IndyVolved is going to make you damn proud of your city.
I believe we take for granted the number of ways we can get involved in Indy. Time and time again, we’ve heard from individuals who found a connection point to the city by way of IndyVolved.
Things we’ve heard people saying about IndyVolved:
“IndyVolved changed my life.” (Seriously. We’re not ballsy enough to make that up.)
“Without the chance to meet [my new friend] I might have left this city. It feels a lot smaller today.”
“So happy to have found this organization. I feel like my Indy experience is really on the right track now!”
